Happy New Year!!!

We would like to start off by wishing everyone a Happy New Year. I hope 2009 brings great things for you. We had a nice New Years Eve.Some friends came over and we played cards and Guitar Hero until 2am. By the way Happy Birthday Mom!!! We received another letter from Jordan yesterday.Monday he and his shipmates went to Marlins pike. It is a simulation of a real ship. They had all sorts of jobs that they had to complete on it. He said this week is going to be crazy he has 3 inspections and a test. He is also going to the firing range so he finally gets to shoot at something. He said if he is good enough he can earn his first medal. He said that their Marching together is improving and that their Chief said he wasn't embarrassed to march with them anymore.HA HA!! The Chief said they are starting to look good and finally becoming sailors. Jordan said he saw some other divisions that graduated already and that they all looked so happy. He can't wait to graduate. Jordan said to tell everyone that he loves and missed you. He only has 22 days left of Basic! Will post again when we receive another letter.

Hey, IT WORKS!!! It sounds like everyone had a great Christmas and New Year, although bittersweet I'm sure with Jordan away. Wish we could make it to Chicago to see him graduate and do parade march. Happy New Year!
